Mexican Fast Food: 30 Tacos and Burritos Actually Worth Eating

Our man Farley Elliott out in Los Angeles has been dutifully covering the Mexi fast-food scene. What's actually worth ordering in the taco and burrito department? He's been answering this very question in various categories, from ground beef tacos to veggie burritos.

Now, we're putting all of his recommended picks in one place. Flip through the slideshow or click on the links below to see which menu items from familiar Mexican, or Mexican-leaning, chains—including Taco Bell, Rubio's, Qdoba, Baja Fresh, Chipotle, Wahoo's, Del Taco, Green Burrito, and El Pollo Loco—are actually worth ordering.

The Burritos/Bowls

Burrito note: Because Chipotle and Qdoba are DIY burrito operations, where you pick and choose all the fillings, there are zillions of possible burrito/bowl combinations. So, instead of trying every single one, we just rated the quality of the meat options (in taco form) here: steak, chicken, veggies and even the carnitas, where available.
